Courte biographie
Lady Harriet Cavendish, "Harryo" to her family, was the second daughter of the glamorous Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire and the 5th Duke. After her mother's death, her father remarried and Harryo wanted to leave home. Her aunt Harriet (Henrietta), Lady Bessborough, asked her own long-time lover Granville Leveson-Gower to marry Harryo in 1809. Harryo adored Granville and allowed his two illegitimate children by her aunt to live with them. Her own daughter Lady Georgiana Fullerton became a well-known novelist.

Critiques

Not as complete as the 2-vol. 1894 edition, but very accessible, and the bios and notes are generally good, wth only the occasional error. Overall a worthwhile read.
